When I'm running automated tests, qemu-kvm sometimes crashes and this needs to be debugged ASAP. To file a bug, I need a backtrace. As part of the test, the core which is dumped is saved.
- SSH into the machine where qemu-kvm crashed
- debuginfo-install qemu-kvm => This should install a bunch of packages to get a lot of symbol info.
- gdb /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm <path to core file>
- Pass "thread apply all bt" to get the backtrace at the gdb prompt
